How to Understand Your Dog

Learning the Dog`s "Language"

Puppies squeal and yelp a lot expressing satisfaction or
complain of something in such a way.
Dogs become more silent with age, however, they still have many
manners from their puppyhood.

For example, when the dog puts out a paw, it expresses
friendly disposition in such a way. If the dog nuzzles, it asks
to stroke it.
Barking, yawling, a wealth of by-play of the dog`s muzzle and
tail modulation - all these are the dog "language", that serves
for communication with people and other dogs.
